Cole Cubelic’s SEC takeaways are a social media staple.
In years past, Cubelic has shared his assessment of every SEC team’s performance on Sunday afternoon. This week, the SEC Network analyst shared his takeaways just before midnight ET.
All 14 teams were in action on Saturday. Here is what Cubelic had to say:
ARKANSAS: Handled their business. KJ on point again. Didn’t need Rocket. Good to see 62 back. WRs solid. Still want to see more separation. Love watching 28 fly around. 7 a monster up front. Air was out of this game. Slow pace will give impression there are issues & I don’t see…

FLORIDA: Handled their business. Got more Montrell! Like how they worked the stretch play & built around it. C & RG had good games. Didn’t just force ball downfield. Work what’s needed now. 8 flashed late. 1 is legit. QB had a few misses. DL pad level too high. 23 was really…

KENTUCKY: Handled their business. QB is coming along. Getting closer. Liked poise in pocket. Missed a few. But it’s in there. Left side of OL brought the nasty!! 1 looks good. Big games for 9 & 7. Want to see consistent effort from DL. 32 solid again. Need to clean up 3rd down &…

MISSISSIPPI STATE: Hell of a win. AZ has legit NFL talent. It’s a really nice win. Leaned on vets to get job done. QB wanted ball late, prob needed more chances. Woody already has a good feel for the zone scheme. I like Wright usage but I feel like it’s better situationally.…

OLE MISS: Gusty win. Huge play by 2 sealing it, looks like he’s in complete command of the off. Great to see 0 involved & making plays. 9 is big time. Movement & run thru hurt rushing attack. OL needs to recognize pressures/stunts sooner. Love how 67 plays. More pistol could help…

TENNESSEE: Handled their business. Joe won’t need to be a super hero if Wright is going like this. Spread the wealth. DL active again. I like the versatility of that group. Great vs run. 24 was really good. Too many flags. Like the balance. OL not as good in pass pro but really…

VANDERBILT: Had their shots. OL couldn’t hold up. But the skill is going to give them a chance. 4, 28, 14 & 6 provide explosive capability. Just have to get them going early & often. QB makes it go but still has 1-3 BAD decisions a game. If he cleans that up they can make a big…
